everyone procrastinates. don\u2019t pretend you don\u2019t. sometimes you really, really, really don\u2019t want to do work, even though you have to. here are some ways to be somewhat productive, even though you aren\u2019t doing homework.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

get your email under control<\/h2>\n

most of our inboxes are flooded with messages we need to respond to, events we need to rsvp to, or other miscellaneous things we need to organize. get yourself online self together and under control and you may feel more in the mood to work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

nap<\/h2>\n

if you\u2019re a student, chances are you need to get more sleep than you\u2019re getting. taking a nap feels so good, and it\u2019s good for your health. it will also energize you so that you\u2019ll be able to do more work later in the night.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

clean up<\/h2>\n

clean your room, organize your desk, or do your laundry. there\u2019s probably some chore you need to be doing, so why not get it done while you\u2019re procrastinating? you\u2019ll also feel more accomplished and motivated after you complete a task like this.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

organize your studying<\/h2>\n

even if you don\u2019t want to do the homework itself, you can at least plan it out. make to-do lists and schedules. you\u2019ll feel more under control and will at least be able to commit to getting something done at some point.<\/p>\n
